A dining table is often more than simply another piece of furniture in a Murrieta home. It is the place the family gathers around for meals, conversation, or even to play games. In some homes, a dining table is also a statement piece that the homeowners use to say something about their personal style. Unlike in times past, a dining table need not be an overly formal piece of furniture. Instead, it can be a more casual piece to fit in with a more relaxed lifestyle.
Casual furniture does not need to be basic, however. Nor does it mean that it will be cheaply or poorly made. Take a live-edge dining table for example. Many live-edge tables have a casual, rustic-ness to them, but they can still have a high level of visual interest to them, as well as be finely crafted.
Matt Smith, owner of custom furniture company Smith Farms, had this to say: “A well-crafted, custom, live-edge dining table can be a great addition to a Murrieta home. Live-edge tables add instant visual interest to any room. When placed in a space like a great room—which is a very common space in Murrieta homes—it can transform the entire main living area in the home!”
Smith continued, “I think there is a misconception out there that live-edge tables are simple to build—that you just attach some lets to a slab of wood and call it a day. However, live-edge tables often take more work than other types of tables to get them just right. In most cases, the live edge needs to be meticulously sanded after the bark is removed so it maintains with wood’s natural shape, but is smooth enough to use without scratching people or snagging their clothing. If you’re going to get a custom live-edge dining table made for your Murrieta home, I highly suggest going with a furniture builder with a good attention to detail, who will take the time to create a table that will be both beautiful and durable.”
